Fundraising for Le Bons Bay Conservation Trust

$2,190 donated

Given by 14 generous donors in around 3 months

We need to raise $450k to buy a property in Le Bons Bay, Banks Peninsula, and thereafter to manage and maintain it for public access.

Le Bons Bay, Canterbury

The Le Bons Bay Conservation Trust has been formed because of a strong desire from many local people to promote and enable the conservation of the local environment within the Bay.

As of 10th September we have raised $180K towards this from direct donations. Givealittle is a great platform to support this fundraising.

Our initial specific vision is to purchase the 39 hectare Old Wharf Road property that forms a triangle of land running up Dalglish Rd from the bottom of the hill, up to the summit directly above the Le Bons bay beach, with the river being the bottom boundary.

If we are not successful in raising enough money to complete the purchase through all our avenues of fundraising. We will notify you directly by email and give you the option for a refund of the money we have received (your donation, less Givealittle fees) After 60 days, any unclaimed funds will be donated to the Hinewai reserve, another local land conservation project, and charitable trust.
